Default Got my Z06!

Hey guys,

I am Ivan, new to the forum and I just got my 04 Z06 Millenium Yellow!

Always been a vette fannatic, but finally got out of college, got a job last summer and with it ofcourse came the vette.

Got an awsome deal at carmax, 2004 Z06 with 8000 miles for 35K and a 5 year full warranty ... just couldnt say no to that!

I got my 2004 Z from Carmax, too. One of the best/easiest buying experiences ever. Congrats

yeah carmax rocks my family has bought 4 cars there, hopefully we get the 10th free

the only issue I had was when i first got it I had gotten a blue z06 and a week later I took it to get the lojack installed and one of the carmax shop guys backed into it with a Tahoe and messed up the hood, they didn’t want to drop the price or anything they just offered to "fix it" so I told them no, and I ended up getting a millennium yellow 04 z06 that was in Georgia and they paid for the transfer

all in all am very happy I ended up with a newer one and less miles on it and even a longer warranty but it was painful to see that car crashed just a week after having gotten it
